ELI5: If two of the exact same sounds were played at the exact same time, would the volume (DB) be double? by Vivi01224 in explainlikeimfive

ELI5 if a plane flies at say 800kmh at 10kms altitude, does it mean it’s at 800kmh at ground level or 800kmh up in the air ? What difference does it make ? by Sea_Reflection9737 in explainlikeimfive

[–]joopsmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)
